CLIMATE:

When we talk about the climate ,it has a very hot and dry climate in the interior and humid along the coast.Oman’s climate is hot and dry in the interior and humid along the coast.

Oman generally has one of the hottest climates in the world with summer temperatures in Muscat and northern Oman averaging 30 to 40 °. Oman receives very less rainfall, with annual rainfall in Muscat averaging 100 mm, falling mostly in January. In the south, the dhofar Mountains area near Salalah has a tropical-like climate and receives seasonal rainfall from late June to late September as a result of monsoon winds from the Indian Ocean, leaving the summer air saturated with cool moisture and heavy fog. Summer temperatures in salalah range from 20 to 30 °C relatively cool compared to northern Oman.

The mountain areas receive more rainfall, and annual rainfall on the higher parts of the Jabal Akhdar probably exceeds 400 mm. Low temperatures in the mountainous areas result in snow cover once every few years. Some parts of the coast, particularly near the island of Masirah, sometimes receive no rain at all within the course of a year. The climate is generally very hot, with temperatures reaching around 50 °C (peak) in the hot season, from May to September.
